This could have gone under the youtube thread or Hollywood name drops Cincinnati, but I thought such a prestigious piece of work deserved its own thread.  This actually looks like it might be funny - hopefully a studio picks it up.  This game is really spreading now - I was on the Delaware shore last week and there were kids playing with Rutgers and George Mason boards:

 

 

I guess I need to learn how to post a youtube link - just search for Cornhole: The Movie.

Dude, you need to lighten up!      Go get a drink at lunch or even home to get a nooner.  It's Friday!!

 

It looks pretty funny, and I assure you it has NOT hurt Cincy's image one bit.

I am surprised you have to ask, but it is indeed a mockumentary.  This is more of a "Best in Show" as opposed to "Dodgeball", and is intentionally over the top.  I am not sure of your classic stereotypes of Cincinnati, but you cannot seem to get off of the city's ass, and I am continually amazed by the condescending opinions of someone from Toledo....really?

wait, it's porn right?  :-o

 

They should have made sure to give everyone thick Westsider accents for authenticity; the rest of the country might not get the joke, though.

I am watching the preview in the link, and I suspect the movie will not put too much of a negative light on the city as the creator is a native.  My response was to your statement of what you thought were classic stereotypes of Cincinnati, and I was having difficulty comprehending it from someone from Toledo - I mean I have been there twice.

 

The movie is indeed a mockumentary so your comparison does not really make sense.  It supposedly follows 4 teams on their way to the championship in Cincy so I am not sure all if any of them are supposed to be local.  If it does make fun of locals so what - that is part of being a mocumentary.  I guess we'll see if it gets picked up or at least on DVD.  Forgive me if I have trouble trusting your opinion on how the movie business works as I just don't see the credentials.  We don't have to agree though.

 

^They apparently did sign Hudy Delight as a sponsor for some authenticity with product placement, which is funny in and of itself.

I am not sure why you are so concerned over a movie (and a mockumentary at that) set in Cincinnati.  Why do you care?  Again, I will reserve judgment until I hear or see more, but clearly as a satirical look at the game I have no problems with it.  If it does poke fun at Cincinnati I am confident most people will understand the humor (I understand the cast is local, but I am not sure if the characters are supposed to be - there is a difference).  I am definitely not with you on Cincinnati having a hillbilly stereotype, especially on a national stage, which tends to assign this to more southern and rural areas.  More than anything the stereotype would be conservative. Quite honestly, from a national standpoint Ohio is Ohio (although northern Ohio might have more of the rust belt image), and most have not heard the Ohio River Valley.  The perspective presented seems colored with personal opinion and self-doubt in Ohio's perception.  This is a supposed to be funny, not a sociological study.  Unbelievable.

 

And to belabor the point on what has become a wearisome thread a little more, the movie idea was shopped to studios and not picked up.  The creator made this as an independent film, and is now shopping it around again.  Predicting this film to not get picked up is in no way a sign of Hollywood expertise, and probably the safe bet as most independent movies do not make it.  More impressive would be the ability to predict which independents do get studio backing.

It is cornhole, not the Miss Beauty Contest.  The only thing that refernced Cincinnnati in the clip, from what I saw was a short flash of downtown Cincinnati and also the Hudy Delight ads.  Nothing led me to believe that Cornhole=Cincinnati.  Chill out a little bit. 

It looks like a scream.  I love mock documentaries.  They are usually so tongue in cheek that they are actually spot on.  The preview just flashes Cincinnati and it's so quick it could be anywhere.  Given the satirical nature of the movie, I can understand your point that it portrays Cincinnati as being backward, but I think that the demographic it's aimed to will see beyond that.

It's always fun to laugh at something familiar.

The bad dress, hillbilly music, rednecks, and southern accents are classic stereotypes of Cincinnati

 

I lived in Cincy all my life and never realized that those were the classic stereotypes of Cincinnatians---

 

But they are classic stereotypes of Hooisers and Kentuckians ;-)

(Uhhh get my point?)
